- Village Setting

- Pretty Gardens to Front and Back
- Lovely Countryside Views
- Two/Three Bedrooms
Situated in a lovely semi-rural position in the pretty village of Whitford, is this bright two bedroom link detached bungalow. Approached over a tarmac driveway from Hampton Lane, there is ample parking for several vehicles with a level garden spreading out to the front of the property, facing west. As the property is set above the lane, this is a lovely place to sit of an evening and surprisingly private. The pretty rear garden faces east, so enjoys morning sunshine.
The accommodation is well maintained and comprises: two double bedrooms, a re-fitted shower room, separate w.c. off the entrance hall, lounge with fireplace, kitchen/dining room and a recently replaced front entrance porch with new roof. The attached garage, also with a new roof, has an electric roller door to the front and has been extended at the back to create a very useful workshop area with power and light and a rear door and window to the garden.
The gardens are very well stocked with plenty of interest and the back adjoins a lovely meadow. The views from the back are delightful with an outlook over the meadow to hills beyond - this can also be seen from the kitchen window. The outlook from the front is just as pleasant.
The bungalow benefits from double glazed windows and doors throughout and electric heating.
Whitford is a pretty village, with a warm and friendly community offering various activities centred around the village hall. Unusually, it also benefits from a regular bus service to Axminster, Colyton and Seaton. The nearby market town of Axminster offers a good range of day to day needs including shopping, doctors. Leisure centre and banking and where there are mainline trains to London Waterloo and Exeter. The beautiful Jurassic Coast town of Lyme Regis is just over 7 miles to the east and Exeter is around 28 miles to the west.
